I live in Ohio, so the winters here get cold and snowy. I've heard a few different opinions on when I should and shouldn't work the horses, but I would like to know more. Someone told me that you shouldn't exercise the horses when it's below 10 degrees because it is bad for their lungs.
I'm aware that you don't want to work the horses on the ice or slipery snow, but what about the cold air? When is it too cold to work the horses? Do you have any precautions that you take before or after or work them? How long do you work them? I'm wanting to lunge and ground drive this winter, but I definitely don't want to hurt any of them. Thanks in advance for your opinions!
